Michelle Wie is Still Determined

Michelle Wie is still determined to succeed against both the men and women, even after missing the cut again at a men’s tournamnet.

This past week Michelle Wie failed to make the cut against the men in a tournament she play in Japan, the Casio World Open. She shot rounds of 81 and 80 to finish the tournament 17-over par and in second to last place prompting some around the world of both golf and sports to call for an end to the embarassment.

But Michelle doesn’t see it that way and has vowed to continue her climb to the top of professional golf, both male and female. After the tournament she stated that she feels very close.

“I feel like I have to make a couple of adjustments on my set, my clubs. And I think I’ll be good.”

And about her stopping play in men’s tournaments she said

“I think I want to play a lot of men’s events next year but my tour schedule is not finalized yet.”

Don’t count her out of the money though. Although she finished close to last in this men’s tournamnet she came away making a reported $870,000. Nearly as much as the winner of the tournament. So to those of you wondering why she’s putting herself through the pain and embarrasment of finishing last all time, ask yourself if you would do the same. Heck I’d go out there and come in last place for $10,000. Any takers?
